Player Controls

Playback buttons and secondary player actions on BeatPass across desktop and mobile.

The BeatPass player provides core playback controls everywhere, then shows additional actions depending on screen size, instance settings, and the cued track.

Core Playback Controls

Control	What it does
Play / Pause	Starts or pauses the current item.
Previous	Moves to the previous item in the queue.
Next	Skips forward in the queue.
Shuffle	Randomizes queue order.
Repeat	Cycles repeat behavior for the current queue.
Seekbar	Jumps to a position in the current track.

Desktop Player Layout

The persistent bottom bar is split into three areas:

Area	Contents
Left	Track image (circular, linked), track name, artist links, and a Like button (hidden below medium breakpoints).
Center	Playback controls plus the main seekbar (max width ~722 px).
Right	Download, Queue toggle. On larger screens: Lyrics, Volume, and Expand.

Responsive visibility

Control	Minimum screen width
Like (left area)	Medium (md)
Download	Always visible when a track is cued
Queue	Always visible
Lyrics	Large (lg)
Volume	Large (lg)
Expand	Extra-large (xl), hidden if the overlay button is disabled

Mobile Player Layout

Mobile uses two layers:

• Mini player bar: square track image, track name, artist names, Previous, Play / Pause, Next, and a thin progress bar at the bottom.
• Bottom navigation bar: the mobile site navigation appears below the mini player.
• Fullscreen overlay: tap the mini player to open the expanded view with larger cover art, full playback controls, Download, Queue toggle, and Lyrics. Drag down to close.

Download Button

The Download button is always present in the desktop right area and the mobile fullscreen overlay. Its behavior depends on your account:

Condition	What happens
You have download permission	Opens the standard download flow (pre-download modal → file download → license modal).
You do not have download permission	Opens an upgrade prompt so you can subscribe.
Your subscription payment is overdue	Opens a payment dialog.
The track is exclusive-only	Shows the exclusive licensing info modal.

The button is hidden entirely only when downloads are globally disabled, no track is cued, or the track is not locally uploaded.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Shortcut	Action
Space or K	Toggle play / pause (blocked inside text inputs)
Ctrl or Shift + →	Next track
Ctrl or Shift + ←	Previous track

Plain arrow keys do not seek within a track or adjust volume. Use the seekbar or volume slider directly.

What Changes by Context

No track selected

The player hides entirely until something is cued.

Mobile

Desktop-only controls (volume slider, expand) move out of the bottom bar. The compact mini player stays visible and advanced controls appear in the fullscreen overlay.

Instance settings

Administrators can hide certain features such as lyrics or the expand button, so your player may show fewer actions than described here.
